Incurable Chapter 20 Part 3

Huai Jing leaned her body back, stretched his slender legs, supported his arms on the sign behind, looked at Liu Qianxiu, and said: “I heard from Xu Xingkong that a woman came with you yesterday. Don’t you want to introduce her?”

Huai Jing’s introduction refers to Liu Qianxiu taking her to a meal with other friends, which was how Xu XingKong was introduced.

Standing up from his seat, Liu Qianxiu glanced at Huai Jing, who looked at him quietly. He was silent for a while, seeming to be thinking, and after a while, he said. “We’ll talk about it later.”

“Alright.”

After Liu Qianxiu had said that, Huai Jing didn’t ask anymore. It was how they got along. If there was anything to say, he would naturally say it. But if he didn’t, they didn’t need to know now.

Liu Qianxiu went to the stadium’s locker room to shower. After changing his clothes, he drove back to the Nanfeng Apartment. When Mu Wan sent a text message, he said he had gone home, and it was almost time to arrive.

His car was parked in the underground garage. Liu Qianxiu got out of the car with a sports backpack and a basketball, entered the elevator, and swiped the card. The elevator went up to the first floor and stopped when it reached the first floor.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Mu Wan stood outside.

She was looking at the multimedia advertisement next to the elevator. After hearing the sound of the elevator, she glanced in and saw Liu Qianxiu inside, her eyes bent.

Liu Qianxiu’s clothes today are sporty and casual, with a white T-shirt and black shorts. The simplicity is exquisite and expensive. He has white skin and is tall. He dressed like a male model on the show, with a simple suit of clothes.

He carried a black sports backpack on his left shoulder and a basketball in his right hand. He has a large palm and can hold the basketball with one hand. His fingers are slightly bent, his joints well-proportioned, and he looks slender.

Mu Wan once didn’t understand why so many girls liked boys playing basketball in high school, but she understands a little now. As long as you love that person, he is handsome in everything he does and makes your heart beat faster.

“Is this your basketball?” Mu Wan’s eyes jumped, and her gaze fell on the basketball in Liu Qianxiu’s hand.

“Yeah.” Liu Qianxiu replied.

Mu Wan looked at the light brown basketball and asked, “Can you let me try it? I’ve never played basketball before.”

It’s only five o’clock anyway, and she is not in a hurry to eat. It just rained in the morning, and now the rain has stopped, and the air is cool, quite suitable for playing basketball.

After Mu Wan finished speaking, she glanced at Liu Qianxiu, who had some requests in his eyes.

The elevator door was about to close because it had been open for a long time. When the elevator door moved, Liu Qianxiu held the door with his right hand and said as he walked out, “Let’s go.”

Mu Wan laughed, jumped slightly behind Liu Qianxiu, and happily followed him.

Nanfeng Apartment has a peculiar basketball court, and the sports venues in the high-end community are also very neatly constructed. The basketball court is next to the tennis court, surrounded by a layer of iron net.

The morning rain has not fully evaporated, and the surface of the basketball court is wet, but there’s no water left. At this point, the basketball court was empty, and two people entered through the door.

Mu Wan walked into the basketball court under the hoop and glanced at the high-up basket. She raised her hand a moment. Her white arm was far from the basket, but Mu Wan felt she had great athletic ability. She retracted her arm and said to Liu Qianxiu, who stood outside the three-point line: “Liu Qianxiu, I want the ball.”

After the rain, the soft female voice echoed on the court.

Liu Qianxiu threw the ball in his hand, which rolled to Mu Wan’s feet.

The sky was covered with thin clouds, and the air was wet and clean. On the vacant basketball court, a slender woman picked up a basketball, stood beside the blue basketball hoop, held it with both hands, aimed it at the basket, and threw it over.

With a “bang” sound, the light brown basketball hit the basketball board and fell off.

Mu Wan was not discouraged when she didn’t take a shot for the first time. She picked up the basketball and shook it twice at the basketball basket. Then, with both her arms, she threw the ball in again.

This time, it only touched the edge of the basket.

The light brown ball crossed a line in the clean air and finally bounced and fell behind her. She turned her head back, frowned her eyebrows, and panted lightly. Her lips were slightly open, moist, and bright red.

“Liu Qianxiu, I can’t get in.” Her voice was sweet, like ripe berries. She walked towards the basketball with her legs and said, “Can you throw it in?”

The ball rolled to Liu Quanxiu’s feet. He stood outside the white line and glanced at her calmly. He bent down slightly and grabbed the ball with one hand; the force made his knuckles a little white.

Mu Wan stood in the middle of the court, looked up at him, and asked uncertainly: “You stand so far. Can you throw in?”

Liu Qianzxiu has yet to respond to her. He put the basketball in his right hand, his wrist slightly bent back, and his dark eyes were like two bottomless springs in the moist air.

With the force of his wrist, the basketball broke away from his hand and flew over Mu Wan’s head. In an instant, Mu Wan turned her head back, and with a “bang” sound, the basketball went into the basket cleanly, just like Liu Qianxiu broke into her heart.

The basketball bounced on the ground, slapped against the clean area, and “banging” echoed on the empty basketball court.

Mu Wan’s eyes jumped on the light brown basketball, and when the basketball fell to the backboard, the court fell silent. She stared at it for a long while, then looked back at Liu Qianxiu. Under the dark clouds, the man was tall and leggy, and his eyes were as clean as water.

“Liu Qianxiu... Are you my god?” Mu Wan tilted her head to ask him, her eyes filled with bright stars. Then she smiled and said, “You seem to be able to do everything I can’t do.”

The sky is high, the clouds are thin, the wind is blowing the leaves, and some people’s hearts are trembling.

“I want to throw in too.” Mu Wan finished speaking, turned around, and trotted to pick up the basketball.m Her thin white fingers covered the sphere, while the roots were distinct, sharp, and beautiful. She took two steps back and got under the edge. She was hugged from behind just before she was about to throw the ball.

Mu Wan smelled the light mint fragrance, and her jaw trembled slightly.

Her body was gradually rising. Insight, the basket was getting closer to her as if it was within reach.

“Go ahead.” Liu Qianxiu said quietly behind her.

Her gods have come to help her.

The author has something to say: 
Liu Daochang: In order for you to become a god, or not.
